On the day of the Longest Night of the year, December 21st it has become a tradition to lift up our voices to God in prayer for our brothers and sisters who are experiencing homelessness and other types of loss. We focus our thoughts on those for whom the cold and dark are all too real, too painful, and often very threatening. While we are grateful that we will only be reading the name of one person who passed away this year while homeless, we recognize that even one is still too many and there is still so much work to do! Our service begins at 12:00 noon at Living Faith Lutheran Church (Formerly Atonement), 2915 Wright Ave. Please come join us this Wednesday and light a candle in the darkness to help them light their way home. #CoC#ContinuumofCareRacine#ShelterForAll#ThisIsOurFamily
